Brush With Death- Dr. Tara Ross series Vol 3

Synopsis

After nearly killed twice, Dr. Tara Ross swore not to pry into her husband’s homicide cases. Having closed her OB/GYN practice in Brewster, NY after her sociopathic ex- partner murdered their young associate and attempted to kill her, Tara has taken a teaching position at Westchester Hospital and Clinics, mentoring OB residents and medical students. Putting her past behind at Brewster Medical Center, Tara has happily settled in her new career. It was the perfect move until one of her medical students is suspected of being “The Lingerie” serial killer. Once her daughter, Abbie, who has a summer job at a lingerie store, is targeted, and after her friend and co-worker is assaulted, all bets are off.
Captain Jeffrey Corrigan, homicide commander of Brewster Police Department, is on the hunt for the killer. He’s put his men into action, casting a net to ensnare him. He’ll do anything to protect the love of his love, Tara, and his stepdaughter, Abbie.
Despite Tara’s vehement disapproval, and Jeffrey’s warning, Abbie, a budding criminologist, dives into her own investigation to avenge her friend’s assault.
Between Tara’s mission to protect her daughter while revealing the medical student, Abbie’s revenge, and Jeffrey’s rush to not only solve a homicide, but to guard Tara, Abbie, and Abbie’s friend, will they be quick enough to cage “The Lingerie” killer before he strikes again?

Book Excerpt

Brush With Death- Dr. Tara Ross series Vol 3

Her long brown hair swayed across her back. He watched her from the mall bench outside of DreamMaker's Lingerie Store. What a gorgeous smile! She was the one. There was something special about her, how she moved about the store, the choices she made. He had to get closer to her. She took her place in line. He got up and went inside the store. He brushed past her and browsed the bras and panties while keeping a watchful eye on her. The line moved too quickly. He'd lose her! He grabbed a beige bra and panty set that would fit Sara and barged past three women. He slammed his selection onto the cashier counter. I have to get out of here, fast.

"Hey!" one of the women protested.

"I'm in a hurry."

"Well, so are we! Get in the back of the line!"

Three hardly makes a line. The lead woman tapped her foot. He'd step on it, but he couldn't afford to waste the time. Bitch! I'd not consider her nor any of these losers. He ignored them and smacked crisp bills onto the counter. "Here!"

The saleswoman's face froze in shock. She rang up the sale and stuffed his purchase into a pink polka dotted bag. "Thank you for shopping at Dream Maker's."

"Yes. Yes. Thank you."

On his way out, two young women, working at the back of the store caught his attention. He'd come back for them. But this beauty was not to be missed.
